[Cricket] Test Series- England in India- January & February 2024

[Titanic]

I'm not convinced of Hawkeye. But I guess it is the same for everyone

Which bit don't you like? The blue (predicted) line in this case if very short compare to the red (actual) line... so it seem more likely to be a safe prediction/decision than when the ball pitches up very close to the batsman.

England 200-2 (34 overs, RR 5.88)

Looks like a decent review...

Close of Play, Day Two

India 445 all out

England 207-2 (35 overs, RR 5.91)

Ben Duckett 133* (118 balls, 21 fours, 2 sixes)

Quality Test Cricket from both sides.

 

[MJsGhost]

Ben Duckett looks like that short, stocky and cocky batsman that can be found in most club sides.

I mean that in a nice way.

Well played young man!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well that was fun.

So.. England 340 all out?

Ashwin has pulled out of the test match due to a family emergency

You KNOW the drill.

 

[Beach Hut]

Ravichandran Ashwin has left this test match for family matters, means India can only play a sub fielder who cannot bat or bowl.

Ashwin has pulled out of the test match due to a family emergency

Must be serious. They can only have a sub fielder though. I wouldn't be against the idea of him being fully replaced. Seems unfair.

It does, but such a rule would be too open to abuse.

Yes, of course. There is an element of trust. Although the ICC could arbitrate

Can't be many better options than Ashwin though. World class

 

[Steve in Japan]

Spectacular cricket today. Fair play to Duckett. Was saying yesterday how I've only ever seem him get to 40 odd and get out. His average said I'm wrong, but delighted to be proven wrong again!

BBC quote a BCCI official saying its his mother.

Helped a bit by a large 'fill your boots' innings against Ireland. That said, he does seem to have grown into the role.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

So.. England 340 all out?

This is looking disappointingly prophetic, maybe even optimistic.
